Sure. Just email me. You still have my email right?

Yes of course. And no you didn’t message me. I just don’t know if I remember what I posted back then.

Might as well repost here as well…

Can’t go wrong with rocky road.

Ice cream eaten, taking rest of day off.

Where’s my Fortnite peeps at?

Rocky road!!!

Done. Exhausted. I’m gonna go eat some ice cream.

Thank you, bud!

Two different pitches today.

Both based on the life rights of amazing humans who did amazing things.

One features an undercover cop who took down his own mob family in Miami. 400 arrests in all.

The other about the creator of a wilderness medical program. Extreme medicine in extreme conditions.

Insomnia is not. Then seeing a text come in. Then checking that text because you think it’s an emergency. Then perseverating on what they said even though totally not pressing.

No caps for Fortnite texts

Right?

No I think people should send scripts to actors through the proper channels.

The only correct way is to throw the script over the celebrity’s wall with a $1000 gift card to Pink Berry.

For the latter, there’s a thin line between shooting your shot and pissing off the person you’re emailing.

Actually, scratch that, there’s no line at all.

Don’t send unsolicited scripts. Don’t ask people you don’t know to risk relationships (that they might not even have).

Tired.

Just got a 3am text from a producer with “middle of the night thoughts” on a pitch.

Love the excitement. But email is your friend. And timezones.

Also got sent an unsolicited script from somebody I barely know asking me to get project to “X big name actor.”

1/10. Don’t recommend.

I just watched a very mediocre K-Drama… or what some may call an “Ok-Drama”.

I had two pieces of paid development this year. I know. Crazy.

This was actually a paid development deal with somebody from the special forces community. I spent the last 6 mos researching that world before I started writing and in the process it completely transformed my opinion of Green Berets and Operation Enduring Freedom.

Can’t wait for people to read

Logline: After a deadly ambush in Afghanistan exposes a possible traitor inside the chain of command, a decorated Green Beret must testify before Congress — but as his story unfolds, so does a buried conspiracy that threatens to unravel everything he fought to protect.

Genre: Military thriller.

I just turned in a revised draft of maybe my favorite TV pilots of all time. I don’t normally share loglines but since it’s going out soon, here it is:

Title: THE BERET

I asked my 9yo son if he’d ever want to do my job (tv writing).

9yo: Parts of it seem fun.

Me: Oh yeah? Which parts?

9yo: The parts where you eat a lot of candy and walk around your office mumbling to yourself.

Me:

TV writing rule #387: No matter how many times you might have gone to the bathroom that day, or how constipated you might be, three minutes before any pitch you’ll have to use the bathroom again.

There are no exceptions to this rule.

How many people out there just googled “Is Lachlan Murdoch liberal or conservative?”

Yep!

There used to be a pathway to success. A ladder. But that ladder wasn’t only yanked away, it was lit on fire first.

And now there’s only a precarious ledge, filled with the most talented writers/craftsmen in the world, which is getting smaller by the second.

Hopefully something turns around soon.

I miss Hollywood. Over the 20yrs I’ve been in the game, I went from unpaid intern to PA to staff writer, all the way to Co-EP on other people’s shows and EP on things I develop.

This used to be a job filled with so much hope and promise.

And when it paid off, there was nothing better. And now? 🤷🏻💔☹️

BREAKING: Trump signs an EO officially changing the name of the Navy SEALS to the Navy SHARKS… because seals are “slow, goofy and blubbery” while sharks are not.

Elizabeth Warren: How about a basic question since you clearly can’t answer any of our harder ones. What does HHS stand for?

RFK, Jr: That’s easy. Health and Human Sacrifice.
